Seems pretty presumptuous as the decision board met today. You sure about that? Do you know anyone that has been called this week?

Maybe he misunderstood the question. And yeah that would be impossible with the board meeting today (or possibly tomorrow I heard from one Captain).... They told us the board would be the 13th of Nov when we interviewed though. If it happened today, calls and "no thanks" emails could start tomorrow or Friday I would imagine.

Any SWA folks know if people can get selected by the DB that have not had references called yet? I heard it happens but it's a loooog shot and very rare.

Good luck to all.

There is a chart on another thread somewhere. I found it. I can't verify if it is correct but it looks about right.

2013 - 125
2014 - 117
2015 - 147
2016 - 175
2017 - 162
2018 - 121
2019 - 151
2020 - 173
2021 - 214
2022 - 197
